It’s okay. It’s okay to not have all of the details figured out at this very moment. Because for all that is still unknown, may you also know this is true: you have learned so much from all of the mountains you’ve already traveled through.
And as you continue to carry on toward August, and all that follows, you are free to carry those lessons with you. Yes, you will face new unknowns and you will encounter mountains you’ve never climbed before, but you will remember all the ways you’ve been learning to breathe, as the wind gently brushed your skin. You will begin to remember all the courage that has been building up within you, over and again.
It’s not that the journey has been easy or perfect or that you suddenly have all the answers, but instead, this journey has been a winding path through an expansive landscape called life…and even though so many things seem unknown, this is still the place in which you’ve learned and grown.
You may not feel prepared everywhere all at once, and please know: it’s okay. You are still free to explore where in your life you can say: “I am more prepared than I think. I have learned and grown so much from this and I will carry that wisdom and courage with me even before the future makes sense.” The ways you’ve already grown can help prepare you for future unknowns.
You have learned so much from all of the mountains you’ve already traveled through. You are free to carry those lessons with you as you continue toward August and beyond. – Morgan Harper Nichols
